The Intent

As a child I knew that I would ever hold a gun.

My father had one. So I would get one too.

I would deal with bad people who did bad things.

People who murdered, sold drugs.

It was in my DNA.

In my blood.

My mother always says: People are born with an intention.

When I became an adult ...

... I appreciated collaboration.

I moved from Birmingham to London and joined the TIC crew.

The strongest group in South London.

Our rivals were called the Clappers.

This is Hoodz, the boss of the TIC crew.

And this is G Money, the leader of the Clappers.

This is me, Gunz.

But if, like the police, you want my government name ...

... then you call me Lee Biggings.

My father always says:

Without good opposition you can never grow up.

Wherever you are, MacieLee on Twitter ...

... Josette171 on Twitter ...

... you rock with E Plus in the capital ...

... at Big Change Radio ...

Is that case still ongoing?

Yes, that whine shop is still running.

So what. Nothing wrong.

That French girl still fucked?

You know how I am.

I do not lie.

I have to take her out to dinner and stuff.

You have to pay again.

That bitch thinks she is Kim K. and only want football players and bankers.

She didn't say when I put her on the couch.

Hard, man.

Hey, dude?

See those kids? -Yes.

Those dorks have yesterday ripped ten backs.

So?

These are our sources.

Never mind. No time for.

Do you have your knife?

Yes.

Then we go to them. I know them from school, you know?

Yo, dude.

That's Hoodz. -How are you?

How are you, brother?

I'm doing my thing, right?

Leon. My niggas.

Long time no see, family.

Yes, you are shining ...

...serious.

You know what we do.

We have been doing this for a long time.

You've known me for a long time, come on, bro.

You ripped ten backs yesterday.

Yes, ten backs. That is change.

Small change, yes?

Everything good?

Great, dude.

What is that thing?

Come on. I grew up with this.

I know. I want one too.

I want him. I want to look like you.

Do you want him?

I want him.

You say you are my brother.

Then I'll let you do your thing. -Yes?

Be careful though.

Of course. -Yes?

Get out. -What...

Are you gonna stab me? Serious?

Are you going to do that?

Are you gonna stab me? Really?

Will you let your brother do that, Hoodz?

Hand in that necklace.

Give that necklace. Guest?

Yes? Okay, I get it.

Yes?

We'll trade once.

We will still exchange my watch.

I will see you again.

Daniel and Leon.

How are you guys?

Not knocking so hard on my mother's door that your police seem.

We're on the couch. But come in.

Do you only watch cartoons?

Well, I know you watch Ben 10.

Ben 10, sure.

While you were watching cartoons like a bunch of nerds ...

... we scored something.

What then?

Do you know Daniel and Leon from school?

Dan and Lee?

They had ripped the post office.

You are hard.

But really...

... they've been scoring for weeks.

We must do that too.

Shut up, D'Angel. -How so?

Do you want to do robberies like those kids and fat girls score?

Should we let them go then?

But honestly ...

... my brother-in-law is coming with bread and money on the shelf.

He feels a lot, man.

Stores have no money.

Of course it is. -What do you say?

They had ten backs ...

Stores don't have that. How stupid. The banks have money.

They had ten backs with them.

We've taken two of them in no time.

And they represent nothing. If they can, then we too.

I still want it.

Stores?

Shouldn't we go back to drugs?

Everyone wants that.

But we have nothing.

I want to sell drugs on credit.

I want what you want.

You know, I'm going for it.

I participate.

Mitch, what do you think? -You know me.

I do sell my weed bags.

Don't be such a jerk. What do you have?

Yes. -Erin and out.

Just like with chicks. But you don't fuck, so ...

This weed, Mitch?

Never mind. - Don't throw it.

That's my job, my business. Do you know?

It's dead. That's not allowed.

Lie down on the floor. Do not move.

Don't move, damn it.

Hurry up.

Open the fucking cash register.

Hurry up. - Shut up and wait.

There is nothing in it.

Jackpot.

Fast.

Law enforcement. They are there.

Have you pressed the alarm? -I have done nothing.

The police are there. We have to leave.

Naeema?

That's about 40 ridges.

Forty backs. We were so gone. I told you so?

You know, right.

What are you watching?

Hadn't shot her.

Nobody would be hurt.

She had pressed the alarm.

Wasn't she on vacation?

What do you have? -I shoot you down.

What have you got?

Hoodz, calm down. We are family.

We have 40 backs here.

What have you got?

I didn't want to shoot her.

She moved and pressed the alarm.

Dirty liar.

Do not you get it?

All agents are looking for us now.

Hoodz.

Mitch is right.

Murder is not a joke.

We must ensure that this blows over.

We were wearing masks and gloves.

Yes? The police cannot find us.

Do you understand, Mitch? Nothing wrong.

Yes, nothing wrong. Toe.

Grab this. Count papers.

Go spend that. That is better than selling weed.

I'm going.

Hang in there.

Mitch, you are family.

I would never shoot you.

He'll be fine.

Why do you always look at your phone? Gunz? We have 40 backs.

What is so important?

I want to score some chickens. Do not worry.

Are you crazy? Am I the only one ...

... who wants to spend the money? Are we going out or not?

We do.

Come on, man.

Recently ...

... more robberies have been committed in South East London.

The gang...

EYE Witnesses Wanted

... choose stores, post offices, everything where a lot of money is present.

I hope your mother is resting.

I am selling the store. We're going back to Pakistan.

But dad ... -No, Naeema.

We have to go back.

... will spend the night in the shadow of the Almighty.

I say to the Lord:

My refuge and my castle ...

You will not fear the frightening of the night ...

... for the arrow during the day comes flying.

Neither for the plague who goes around in the dark.

Nor for the destruction that destroyed in the middle of the day.

Thousand will fall by your side ...

... and ten thousand on your right.

Naomi.
